I've always purchased the Halo titles especially for their Campaign. For me, I'm fascinated with video games that have a rich narrative, with a strong story, interesting characters, and lots of drama and emotion. The Halo franchise certainly has all of that. However, Multiplayer is a big component in every Halo title. In fact, Halo 3 introduced me into the world of Online Multiplayer - it was an astounding experience.
So, are you missing out by not playing Multiplayer? In a way, you are. However, Campaign will always be important to the franchise, and I expect 343 Industries to honour that. So, you can always look forward to an excellent Campaign in every Halo title. So, in that respect, you're not missing out at all.
Exactly how I feel, except for the part about every Halo has an excellent campaign. Reach's was just okay IMO.
Halo 3 was also the first game that introduced me into online gaming. I bought the game for the campaign and I got an xbox live account almost exactly a year after. I had loads of fun with multiplayer, in some cases more than campaign, but playing campaign never gets old, at least not as fast as multiplayer, for me anyways.
When I look back over the many years I've been playing games I notice all my favourite ones are single player only, or at least more focused on single player. Games such as Marathon Infinity, Ocarina of Time, Metroid Prime, Demon's Souls, Prince of Persia, and Star Fox 64 I will never get tired of.
It's a shame games now a days are focusing more on multiplayer than story but there are still games to look forward to that focus on campaign such as Skyrim and Batman Arkham City. The single player experience will always trump the multiplayer experience in my eyes but multiplayer is always worth checking out.
Anyways that's my view on the matter.
